My Furry Four Footed Friends

Mattie (aka Miss Piggy)

A miniature long haired dachshund, Mattie is always happy and always hungry. She's the oldest of the pack. All the other pets adore her. The cats even try to groom her. We call her "Miss Piggy" because not only is she always hungry and looking for food, but she actually grunts like a pig.

Daisy (aka The Doodle Bug)

Daisy is our first cat. We had her for a few months before we realized she can't hear a thing, she's completely deaf (we thought she just had an attitude). We have learned to communicate, she knocks on the window when she wants to come in and we flash the outside light at night to call for her.

Shaba (aka Shaba Doo)

Our black Labrador mix. She's the biggest of the pack and the most gentle. She loves to lay on the sofa, the whole sofa, and chase squirrels. Shaba doesn't like to share her toys and she hates getting her nails clipped.

Jasper (aka Little Man)

He is the only male of the pack and that's how he likes it . Jasper is our newest addition. Everyone except Daisy loves him (she is slowly coming around). He loves to play with his toys and nap on the bed. Jasper wants to be a Shaba when he grows up.

These are probably as close to "Farm" animals as I am ever going to have. I wanted to introduce them because they seem to like to get into our home photos. They sit on the furniture and sleep in our beds. My windows have nose prints, my floors have foot prints and my furniture has pet hair. This place would not be home without them.

Our Farmhouse

Write it down, when I have perished:
Here is everything I've cherished;
That these walls should glow with beauty
Spurred my lagging soul to duty;
That there should be gladness here
Kept me toiling, year by year . . .
Every thought and every act
Were to keep this home intact.

As well as the cottage that you live in.

And those inside be well matched.

...people's living space and the personal possessions with which they surrounded themselves were inevitably fascinating...an affirmatin of identity, intriguing both in themselves and as a betrayal of character, interests, obsessions.

Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.
